Beta RE 330
Beta has entered the Adventure segment with the RE 330, the first model in what is set to become an entirely new product family. Built around a fresh platform, the newcomer takes a slightly different approach to adventure riding, focusing on simplicity, functionality and versatility rather than unnecessary complications.
The idea is pretty straightforward: Build a motorcycle that is just as happy dealing with the daily commute as it is heading down a dusty gravel road when the weekend arrives. And, with its manageable capacity and approachable design, the RE 330 could be an interesting option for riders looking to dip their toes into the world of adventure riding.
The Mechanical Bits
At the heart of the RE 330 is a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with four valves and electronic fuel injection. Displacing approximately 330cc, it is paired with a six-speed gearbox and a wet multi-plate clutch.
Chassis and Suspension
Beta has opted for a single-beam steel frame with a split engine cradle, providing the foundation for the RE 330’s all-round intentions.The suspension package consists of a 43 mm upside-down front fork with adjustable compression and rebound damping. At the rear, a monoshock with a 40 mm piston works through a progressive linkage system, with adjustable spring preload.Spoked wheels are another welcome feature for a motorcycle with dirt-road ambitions, with a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear combination.
Braking and Equipment
Braking duties are handled by a 300 mm front disc with a floating twin-piston calliper, while the rear gets a 220 mm disc. ABS is fitted as standard.The RE 330 also gets full LED lighting, while fuel capacity is approximately 10.5 litres. And, of course, Beta hasn’t forgotten its roots when it comes to styling, with traditional Beta red bodywork giving the newcomer its familiar Italian look.It may be the first step in a new adventure family, but it certainly looks like Beta is keen to make adventure riding a little more accessible.

RX 350 2T – Two-Stroke Muscle

For 2027, the engine receives an updated, lighter D78 piston, while retaining the model’s narrow, hard-hitting powerband.It’s a combination aimed at riders who enjoy a proper two-stroke motocross experience, with plenty of muscle when the throttle gets opened.
Beta RR 50 & RR 125.
Not every dirt bike needs a massive engine to deliver big smiles. Beta’s RR 50 and RR 125 bring proper off-road attitude to the smaller-capacity market, offering younger riders and aspiring enduro enthusiasts a taste of the action.Beta has a long-standing reputation for building machines that are ready to get dirty, and its smaller RR models are no exception.

RR 50 – Starting Small
The RR 50 packs a liquid-cooled 49.7cc Minarelli two-stroke engine, six-speed gearbox and kick-start into a lightweight package weighing around 85kg. Built around a steel double-cradle frame, it offers different suspension setups depending on the model, with higher-spec versions getting 41mm upside-down forks.Braking comes from 260mm front and 220mm rear discs, while wheel options cater for both Enduro and Motard versions. With its compact size, 6.5-litre fuel tank and proper off-road attitude, the RR 50 makes a great starting point for younger riders.
RR 125 – A Bigger Bite
The RR 125 steps things up with a 124.8cc liquid-cooled two-stroke engine, Beta’s BPV power valve system, a Keihin carburettor and six-speed gearbox. Its molybdenum steel frame keeps weight to around 94kg, while the tall stance and 21/18-inch wheel combination give it proper enduro proportions.
Suspension varies between versions, with the Race model getting KYB 48mm closed-cartridge forks and the X-Pro using SHC forks. A KYB rear monoshock offers plenty of adjustment, while 260mm front and 240mm rear discs handle braking duties. Add a 9.5-litre fuel tank and the RR 125 is ready for longer days in the dirt.
2028 Beta RR 250 F.
Beta has added a fresh 250cc four-stroke to its enduro family, with the new RR 250 F making its debut at EICMA 2026 as a 2028 model.ased on the RX 250 F platform, the RR gets a compact DOHC engine with dual injection, a six-speed gearbox, enduro-specific exhaust, dry-sump lubrication and electric starting. Beta has also developed a dedicated chassis aimed at improving traction, stability and control on technical trails. Two versions will be available: the X-PRO, with ZF suspension for more relaxed trail riding, and the Race, equipped with KYB suspension for a more competition-focused setup. Final power and weight figures are still under wraps, but this new Italian contender is shaping up to be an interesting addition to the enduro paddock.
